Love is love,” said Amanda Byrne, director of special events at Bella Christie & Lil' Z's Sweet Boutique bakery in Aspinwall. Allison McGeary Florist Inc. in Lawrenceville served two same-sex weddings last year and about five this year, owner Allison McGeary said. “Most of the couples that we've worked with so far have been couples that have been together for a really long time — 20-plus years. And they've finally able to celebrate in a more official way,” she said. Although many same-sex couples made a “mad rush” to the altar when the state recognized gay marriage, the Pittsburgh region's population of gay couples is relatively small, said Bryan, of the Delta Foundation. The Allegheny County Department of Court Records did not start collecting data on the gender of couples applying for marriage licenses until the state changed the terms “bride” and “groom” on the statewide marriage license application in October, Director Kate Barkman said through county spokeswoman Amie Downs. Of the 4,591 marriage licenses the county issued between Dec. 1 and Aug. 12, 324, or 7.1 percent, were for same-sex couples, Downs said. Pennsylvania does not have statewide protections against businesses discriminating based on sexual orientation, but Allegheny and Erie counties and 31 cities, including Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, have passed laws, according to the Mazzoni Center, a Philadelphia health care provider that focuses on the gay and transgender communities. The Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage made clear that federal, state and local governments can't treat same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples, but that constitutional ruling does not apply to private businesses, said Molly Tack-Hooper, a staff attorney in the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania's headquarters in Philadelphia. Marriage equality could come at a price not factored into the wedding cost tally that includes the cake, gown, flowers and other items, Wojda said. “Our fight is not over. We can get married — whoo-hoo! We can get fired the next day,” she said. She and fiancée Loni McCartney have encountered vendors that used the words “bride” and “groom” while trying to court their business, McCartney said. None of the vendors at a bridal show they attended in March at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Downtown, mentioned same-sex couples, she said. “No literature, nothing. ... I think it's important for businesses, if they want that business, to put it out there that they're gay-friendly,” McCartney said. Tory N. Parrish is a Trib Total Media staff writer.

Urban flower farms gain momentum in Pittsburgh - Tribune-Review

Tuesday, January 17, 2017

A Pittsburgh floral shop is planting seeds for future growth that will transform a vacant city hillside into a thriving garden.GreenSinner is expanding beyond its Upper Lawrenceville location with a four-acre urban flower farm in Observatory Hill in the North Side.“There's something really appealing about being in the city,” says Jonathan Weber, GreenSinner farmer. “There are a lot of places that, because of the landscape, aren't suited for buildings. This is currently an overgrown hillside. It hasn't been cultivated in at least 50 years. The soil is pretty rich.”Weber and floral designer Jimmy Lohr started GreenSinner — so named “ 'cause it's easier being a green sinner than a green saint,” according their website — four years ago at the Pittsburgh Public Market before moving into their own workshop, garden and retail store in Lawrenceville.Tucked behind their Butler Street building is an urban micro-farm on less than a quarter-acre, which provides about one-third of their annual cut-flower needs. Between weddings, events and deliveries, that added up to more than 6,000 stems of cut flowers and foliage in 2014. They also work closely with other local... http://triblive.com/lifestyles/morelifestyles/7415145-74/flowers-greensinner-says

Community Voices: Save money and learn what not to plant - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Monday, April 11, 2016

Many classes are conducted at the Extension Service office in Lawrenceville, while others are held throughout the county in conjunction with local community gardens.The Extension Service also offers a three-month Master Gardner training program each year. For a small fee you can become a Master Gardener and learn more about horticulture principles and environmental practices. Master Gardeners, who are required to provide 25 hours of volunteer service each year, are available to speak at local community organizations and homeowners associations. One can even be available to come to your home to provide advice as you develop a gardening plan.Soil testing is another service offered at low cost through the Extension Service. Soil samples may be brought to the Cooperative Extension office in a plastic or paper bag and in less than two weeks you’ll know the nutrients your soil is lacking.I’ll admit my garden reflects the many hours spent digging in the dirt, but I can only imagine how much better it would look had I been taking advantage of these resources all along. I know my bank account would thank me too.Information: www.ugaextension.com/gwinnett. http://www.ajc.com/news/news/local/community-voices-save-money-and-learn-what-not-to-/nq23k/

LAWRENCEVILLE — There aren’t many days like the one Louise Justice experienced Saturday morning.A 10-month resident of the Gwinnett Extended Care Center, Justice said she appreciated a special flowery delivery so much because she used to grow plenty of flowers herself. Justice previously spent time in the facility when her husband was a patient there.“People don’t do it often, we have gotten them before, but not often,” Justice said. “I think it uplifts your spirits because I’m not expecting any company today … It sure is an uplifting thing.”Justice was among 90 seniors who received an arrangement of flowers Saturday morning as part of a host of Great Days of Service service projects. This one came from Suwanee’s Floristique and its Flower Power Project. Overall, the florist on Saturday planned to deliver 500 arrangements of flowers to homebound seniors across Gwinnett. They also took flowers to the Lawrenceville Housing Authority, Applewood Towers and about 100 individual homes.“When... http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/archive/among-great-days-of-service-suwanee-florist-delivers-flowers-to/article_cba65512-3eea-5f65-aea6-7640eed3f868.html
